The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday was marked in Dallas with the annual parade down the street bearing his name.
"I used to come down whenever we heard the marching bands come through," Bradley Anderson said recalling when he was a child living near the parade route. Now he has his own children to bring to the parade.
"Dr. King's legacy was for us all to be able to love each other and be able to grow together," Anderson said."So if we don't get to know each other, we can't learn to love each other, better.""He did say he have a dream," Ellis said."But it's still way more to do."
